Three Gradients of Physiological
Importance |
| |
| Concentration Gradient |
If:
1.The concentration in AREA 1 is different from the concentration in
AREA 2
2.The concentration in AREA 1 is greater than the concentration in AREA
2.
Then
1. Movement will occur from area 1 to area
2.
2. If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be
reached. |
| |
| Pressure Gradient |
If:
1.The pressure in AREA 1 is different from the pressure in AREA 2
2.The pressure in AREA 1 is greater than the pressure in AREA
2.
Then
1. Movement will occur from area 1 to area
2.
2. If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be
reached. |
| |
| Temperature Gradient |
If:
1.The temperature in AREA 1 is different from the temperature in AREA 2
2.The temperature in AREA 1 is greater than the temperature in AREA
2.
Then
1. Movement will occur from area 1 to area
2.
2. If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be
reached. |
